AROUND OUR HOME

02/05/2014

Some photos from around our home.

We’ve been spending most of our days inside due to the cold weather and I feel like we’ve been climbing the walls. This long winter has been kind of a bummer for us. Coming from Texas, we aren’t used to so much cold and gloom. All of us are looking forward to sunshine and springtime; playing in the park, outdoor movies, trips to the vineyard, back yard barbecues, and swimming in the lake.

I will say that the gray of winter does make for some pretty light in our home. That is something I can appreciate.

Nashville winters can be so tricky! Sometimes they’re so mild and sometimes they’re so snowy and grey. My first winter in Nashville was like that too, and coming from Florida I spent the whole of February in a funk.

Dude, winter in Nashville was incredibly difficult for me! The unending gray skies and cold temps were so depressing and seemed to go on for months and months. I can’t imagine it with little kids. I told V that if we end up moving back this year /if he gets into Vanderbilt/ we’re for sure getting several vitamin D lights for our house so I don’t slit my wrists (I kid, I kid.)

I love the light ! Your pictures are always so bright and cheerful. Yet have a certain calm which makes me feel safe and warm. I love your eye and all the white. Beautiful. I love winter I wish in California we got one this year. Instead we have a drought. Thanks for letting me peep into your beautiful home and get glimpses of all your pretty things

So sorry to ask one of these questions, but you had to know it was coming with these gorgeous photos… where did the rug come from? My fiancé and I are currently moving/furnishing with the taste for expensive oriental rugs but an ikea budget. 5×8 is what we need. If you or any of your followers reading this have tips, please share :)

I feel you! We are totally dealing with that in St. Louis as well. It’s usually in the 40s at least this time of year, but we’ve just had more and more snow and the temp doesn’t climb above the 20s. My poor husband gets a little SAD-ish this time of year….needless to say we are counting down to March! Hope you guys keep your chins up until spring’s (inevitable!!) arrival.

Oh my goodness, I know what you mean. I’m from Florida and moved north a few years ago. This time of year is the worst, especially with an almost two year old and So. Much. Snow. Good luck where you are! Hopefully it’ll be here before we all know it.

there is so much light in your home – it’s gorgeous! (and I can definitely sympathize – I spent my whole life in Dallas and just moved to Ithaca, NY this fall. winter here is harsh and a huge adjustment).
